perhaps the "nuclear" symbol is a double stamped Scleroscope?
The pressed in primer is very interesting. I have not seen this before.
Here is a photo (from Drew/Dronic69 - hope you don't mind me using it) of a nice 1905 case with a standard screw in primer "No. I".
So even though introduced around 1904, looks like they were still experimenting a bit.
Must admit when I saw the case it was its age that interested me first as I thought they came in in about 1910, but then the pressed in primer really piqued my interest.
I have had a look at it & I think it is a two piece primer assy.
Theres the centre part (the primer itself) & then a retaining ring? There is no staking to either the ring or primer so i assume it is all an interference fit.
It looks as though rthe primer could me removed much the same as on a SAA round in a fixture with a pin that would push the primer & ring out. Then a very simple process to press in a new primer & retaining ring? The fact this has been relaoded with Full Cordite charge 4 times with this type of primer, to me, points this could have been an experimental or trials case?
Also the fact the primer has no MK or No?
Cheers for all the ideas/help - this is what I love about this site!!
